The three peaces for the QuickSilver should be: * the processor daughter card (riser card, processor module) * the cooling fan and * the heatsink. For the cooling fan you should be able to use the one that is still in your QuickSilver. I think it is the same for all the processors. The processor daugther card and the heatsink are a unit when assembled, but the original apple processor cards are build so that you need to install the processor first, and then you are able to place the heatsink on it with the latches engaged. I recently put a OWC Mercury Extreme 1.4 GHz processor upgrade into my QS2001 and had to place it on the connectors three times until the QS would boot correctly. So it might be a fuzzy work to get it done correctly the first time, since with the original processor you always need to place the heatsink on when the processor is in already. You may try to * connect the processor daughter card with the mainboard * place the heatsink *without* thermal compound --> !!! dangerous !!! * place and connect the fan THEN try to start the Power Mac. Check if it starts up correctly like this: * you just need to see the Apple logo, in case your hard drive is connected and Mac OS X is installed (check first with your current CPU), or * by pressing Command-Option-O-F you can enter the Open Firmware command prompt Keep the Mac running only as long as you really need to in order to verify the CPU is installed correctly and thus it is working in correct order. Otherwise you may overheat the CPU --> permanent damage may occur and destroy the CPU!!! THEN you place the heatsink the correct way: * remove the heatsink again * put thermal compound on the CPUs (refer to the instructions from the thermal compound you have bought) * place the heat sink on it and make sure it is engaged correctly. YOU'RE DONE! As for the thermal compound: I use "Arctic Silver III" and its quite good, kept my CPUs in my MDD Dual-1GHz even cooler than the original compound from Apple. On the other hand the original compound was a few years old already, and the Arctic Silver III was new... You may choose any thermal compound, just make sure it is suitable for the aluminium heat sink of the QuickSilver. I hope that helped.
